Our Lions haven’t returned from their breaks yet and those who played for Wales in the summer have only recently started their pre-season training. 

I posted a bit tongue in cheek to be honest.  
On your point about our internationals not having returned from their breaks I'd be interested to know who pays their wages whilst away from the club recuperating, the Lions, the WRU or little us.

I naively thought with less games this season we might be able to field our best fifteen once or twice, I'm probably hugely over optimistic.

Was excellent today, did all the dirty work to let the flair players play. Just what we need. Hopefully dwayne can keep him on if he's fit

And yet we have some players in the squad endlessly injured yet there is no thought about them being released. Tom isnt the most injury prone player we have I would wager.


6 starts in 6 years reflects an awful run of injuries though.

That's why I'd be delighted to see him play regularly for us, he must have been through a stack of rehab in that time fair play.

i thought it was a standard friendly. was always going to be rusty at the start.
impressed by Hari Williams, Archie Hughes, Caleb Salmon. they were hungry to make an impression and they certainly did.
I was a bit sceptical when I saw Ioan Nicholas named at 15 but he went pretty well there i thought. He may be better suited there than centre/wing - and with Halfpenny out all season, Liam Williams not playing this side of Christmas, we need options there especially with Tom Rogers now on the Wales radar.

I thought Corey Baldwin was hungry and aggressive which was good to see. Conbeer showed his pace which is always a delight to see - but what about that Kalamafoni / Harri Williams / Conbeer combo. What a lovely try that was.

Dan Jones seemed aggressive in defence, Costellow showed great vision especially with the kick across with steff scoring in the corner.

Steff Evs looked sharp when he came on, Dan Davis i thought was very good as well.

It was great to see the impact of Archie Hughes. scored some lovely tries and a lovely assist.

intrigued by Dwayne's comments re selection for Tigers, think we will integrating a few more of our welsh internationals. 
I see Corey Baldwin hasn't travelled to north Wales, so maybe we are ringing the changes.

Hey, no worries. Your updates were most welcome.

It was sheer opportunism on my part.Wink

Quite so. We've all been there with predictive text and it set off some quick-witted responses. The humour "level" has dropped on here so anything to raise it a bit is welcome. I didn't see your posts during the game but I enjoyed them afterwards. Thank you.

We have too many scrum halfs again to keep happy. If I was Gareth D I might now be thinking of a career move to make a change / refresher to life eg to English Premiership at least. He has stagnated form wise but of course, Covid has confused things as well over the last 18 months.

Thank you to everyone for the updates and then the analysis. As someone who isn’t local and therefore couldn’t make it to the game, following this thread has made it feel like I was there yesterday! Looking forward to the start of the season now and hoping that some of the academy prospects that had good games yesterday are able to become breakthrough players.
